The present invention relates a compound represented by the general formula (I):

[wherein, all symbols have the same meanings as described below], an N-oxide thereof, a prodrug thereof, a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof or a solvate thereof, and a compound represented by the general formula (I-1):

BACKGROUND ART

It is known that STING (Stimulation of Interferon Genes) is an endoplasmic reticulum localized type four-transmembrane protein and is involved in innate immunity. When foreign double-stranded DNAs appear in cytoplasm due to infection or the like, cyclic GMP-AMP synthase (cGAS) is activated and cyclic GMP-AMP (cGAMP) is synthesized. This cGAMP binds to STING on endoplasmic reticulum and induces type I interferon (IFN) production. On the other hand, it is known that cyclic dinucleotides such as cyclic Di-GMP, which were first identified as a second messenger of bacteria and later confirmed to also exist in mammals, also directly bind to STING and activate it (Non-Patent Literature 1).

Furthermore, STING is also known to be involved in autoimmune diseases and tumor immunity. For example, it has been indicated that abnormal host DNAs leak from the nucleus and activate STING to induce pro-inflammatory responses, which have been implicated in autoimmune disease. The STING pathway also detects tumor-derived DNAs and promotes T cell responses to tumors. It is known that a STING agonistic compound administered to mouse tumors induces adaptive immune response to cause tumor regression (Non-Patent Literature 2), and that an activating molecule of the STING pathway enhances IFN production and exhibits antiviral effects. (Non-Patent Literature 3).

Heretofore, as STING agonist compounds, the compounds which are so-called cyclic dimerized nucleic acids as disclosed in Patent Literatures 1 to 3 and non-cyclic dimerized nucleic acids as disclosed in Patent Literatures 4 to 7 have been reported. However, no STING agonist compound having a structure like the compound of the present invention has been reported.

Example 17: Evaluation of Anti-Tumor Effect in Tumor Model Bearing Subcutaneous Mouse Colon Cancer Cell Line MC38

Colon cancer cell line MC38 derived from C57/BL6 mice were subcutaneously transplanted to right flank of syngeneic mice (C57/BL6, female, 6 weeks old (Charles River Japan)) (herein, the day of transplantation was Day 0) to prepare tumor mice bearing subcutaneous MC38. They were grouped based on tumor volume 7 or 8 days after transplantation, to which the Vehicle (n=8 or 6) and the respective compounds of Examples 10 and 10(1) to 10(6) (1, 1, 1, 10, 3, 1 and 1 mg/kg, n=8 or 6) were administered. The changes in tumor volume were measured serially until the 28 or 30 days after transplantation (Day 28 or 30). The tumor volume was calculated from the formula shown in Example 16.

FIGS. 2 and 3 showed their results.

All the compounds represented in Examples 10 and 10(1) to 10(6) suppressed tumor growth at the above doses. That is, in the groups to which the respective compounds represented in Examples 10 and 10(1) to 10(6) were administered, the median tumor volumes were less than 500 mm³ even 30 days after transplantation.
